Shamim Uddin, commanding officer of BBG 1 battalion, said the BSF members entered into the border around 7:30am by mistake

The detained BSF personnel have been identified as Sub Inspector Ramnath Singh, Constables Rakesh Kumar and Santosh Kumar.

The Indo-Bangladeshi border is largely conflict free barring a major incident of heavy firing in last decade. Other incidents involve warning shots fired from both the sides to deter civilians from crossing the border in to either of the countries.
